Furthermore, some of the recent decisions by the Government to improve the nutrition situation have been to
(i) strengthen and restructure ICDS with special focus on pregnant and lactating mothers and children under three
(ii) prepare a multi-sectoral programme to address the maternal and child malnutrition in selected 200 high-burden districts
(iii) launch a nationwide information, education and communication campaign against malnutrition and
(iv) bring strong nutrition focus in programmes in sectors like health, drinking water supply and sanitation, school education, agriculture, food & public distribution.
In addition, the proposed National Food Security Bill is also expected to contribute towards food security. With the continuing attention to nutrition, the targeted interventions and the cumulative effect of various schemes including new schemes, the under-nutrition levels are expected to show a declining trend.
This was stated by the Minister for Women and Child Development, Smt. Krishna Tirath in a written reply to a question in the Rajya Sabha today.
